LEGACY #122

The breaks between their albums are growing, but Norway’s premier Black Metal force 1349 didn’t lose an ounce of their spirit. “The Infernal Pathway” marks the seventh album of the quintet from Oslo, gathered around the charismatic vocalist Ravn and the drum dynamo Frost. Also our co-title heroes Alcest keep a Black Metal edge at least partly in their vocals, though their compositions developed into completely different spheres.
